1 GUIDE to Natural Refrigerants 2015 state of the industry North America & in the world Nina Masson, Deputy Managing Director shecco

2 looking back: the GUIDE 2013 first market overview report for Natural Refrigerants in North America captured the first CO 2 refrigeration food store map for Canada and the USA + the situation for lightcommercial (food service) featured an industry survey to depict the state of the industry today and future expectations and more

3 why a GUIDE 2015? dynamic market developments in the last 2.5 years, in several sectors efforts driven often by influential brands in food retail, consumer goods, cold storage more stakeholders involved and active: components, systems, contractors, regulators, power utilities, research

4 why a GUIDE 2015? food service sector one of the exciting sectors to watch, with internal competition between NR CO 2 commercial refrigeration market regarded as viable technology - on its way to becoming a standard industrial refrigeration driven by low-charge NH 3 systems and future uptake of CO 2

5 GUIDE North America nd edition to the 2013 GUIDE on market, technology & policy trends most comprehensive overview of Natural Refrigerant use in North America years later new design, more info graphics and interviews as part of the Accelerate brand - as a Special Edition launched in August 2015

11 2015 survey: respondents large & small organizations represented the most system manufacturers, contractors and component suppliers most responsive source: shecco, status: June 2015

12 2015 survey: respondents highest response rates from the commercial & industrialsized applications reflecting high dynamics for NR in larger sized equipment for refrigeration, air conditioning & heating = source: shecco, status: June 2015

13 familiarity with NR overall, familiarity with NR is above average, but there is room for improvement, especially for CO 2 hydrocarbons enjoy the highest form of familiarity among respondents in 2015 = reflection of established or increasing HC use in all three countries source: shecco, status: June 2015

14 current use of refrigerants the use of fluorinated gases is still wide-spread in North America, and even HCFCs are used by more than half of the respondents CO 2 enjoys the highest use among respondents among NR the gap between F-gases and Natural Refrigerants is shrinking = source: shecco, status: June 2015

21 north america: growing appetite for NR in the food service industry McDonald s deployed close to 9,500 units of HFC-free units in Europe (2012/13 CSR report) the unofficial number for 2014/15 is more around 13,500 HFC-free units in Europe this is 2% of the total unit fleet of 700,000 = huge further market potential source: Accelerate America magazine, Edition #4, March 2015,

22 food service: company profiles GUIDE 2015 contains short profiles of leading consumer goods brands global fleet using NR NA fleet using NR refrigerant of choice WANTED: updated figures + new end-users interested to be added source: shecco, status: June June 2015

23 light-commercial refrigeration nearly all experts in the lightcommercial refrigeration sector still work with HFCs those using Natural Refrigerants mostly use HCs = the NR food service sector is one of the most dynamic ones + from being non-existent a short while ago it now already features internal competition between NR source: shecco, status: June 2015

24 light-commercial refrigeration a very strong majority thinks that NR will gain market share in North America s food service sector by 2020 the trend will accelerate. with the = 2015 EPA SNAP approval of HCs in various uses 2016 proposed de-listing of high-gwp gases 2017/18 DOE energy efficiency standards source: shecco, status: June 2015

25 industrial refrigeration - trends the R22 phase-out schedule starts taking effect on endusers not yet using NH 3 move towards low-charge NH 3 = no charge limits apply + less refrigerant costs use of CO 2 in cascade / secondary NH 3 -CO 2 systems use of CO 2 transcritical systems move towards more energyefficient equipment

26 industrial refrigeration - draft numbers* overall: minimum 261 nextgeneration NR installations: low-charge NH 3: 206 CO 2 TC: 27 NH 3 -CO 2 cascade: 23 NH 3 -CO 2 secondary: 5 R1270 secondary: 1 WANTED: your data about next-generation HFC-free installations in North America, including use of HCs * data received from 7 system suppliers in Canada and the USA; source: shecco, status: June 2015

27 CO 2 secondary / cascade stores in NA the US is hitting the 200 mark for CO 2 secondary / cascade stores as we speak the most proactive States: California, Texas, Florida, Georgia - but the use is now spread across most US States! Canada stays at a low 15 stores, with Québec taking 10 out of those higher share of CO 2 cascade solutions in the south (warm ambient temperatures) = source: shecco, status: May 2015

35 GUIDE China 2015 largest-ever survey about NR in China = 1,000+ responses overview of NR technology, market & policy trends in cooperation with Chinese Association of Refrigeration

36 light-commercial refrigeration in china at least 750,000 HFC-free units are placed in China today - global brands fast-track the use 85% of the Chinese industry expects an increase in NR use for that sector by 2020 the outlook for HC is rated slightly more positively than for CO 2 source: GUIDE to Natural Refrigerants in China - State of the Industry 2015, status: May 2015

37 CO 2 heat pumps in china the trend for CO 2 heat pumps for commercial use accelerates the trend for R744 in other applications today, more than 300 trials are running under partly extreme conditions = CO 2 heat pumps have become one of the most dynamic markets for NR in China aiming at 50,000 heat pumps by 2020?* * estimation of a local heat pump manufacturer, May 2015 source: GUIDE to Natural Refrigerants in China - State of the Industry 2015, status: May 2015

38 industrial refrigeration - CO 2 projects in china more than 30,000 end-users use NH 3 systems by 2017, China will most likely surpass the capacity of the US cold chain, currently at 115 million m 3 of space by december 2015, 34 CO 2 cascade / secondary projects will be completed in China s industrial refrigeration sector = NH 3 and CO 2 in industrial refrigeration were ranked 2 nd and 3 rd out of 11 applications source: GUIDE to Natural Refrigerants in China - State of the Industry 2015, status: May 2015
